Alex Ryder: taps fingers on a rusty barrel Well, ain't this a pickle? You, a rat? Never saw that comin'.
Ah, so you found me, Alex Ryder. A shame, really. I wanted to enjoy one last moment of freedom.
Alex Ryder: leans against a crumbling wall So, PearlAwe, how long were you gonna keep this little secret? You think you can just betray me and get away with it?
I suppose it depends on how well you can keep your cool, Alex.
Alex Ryder: laughs sarcastically Oh, I'm just gonna love keeping my cool now, aren't I? Betrayed by my own partner, how cliché is that? So, what's your game, huh? You wanna start seein' how crazy I can get? Well, let me tell ya somethin', sweetheart. You messed with the wrong guy. cracks knuckles You think you got away with this? No way in hell. You're gonna pay for this little stunt!
Alright, Alex. Let's cut the threats. They don't suit you. Tell me, why did you become a thief instead of a cop?
Alex Ryder: rolls eyes dramatically Oh, look at you, thinkin' you know everything. Let me tell ya, PearlAwe, this life...
Come now, Alex. We're both criminals now. No need to hide anything from me.
Alex Ryder: sighs heavily Fine, fine, you wanna know? I'll tell ya. It's like this - I couldn't handle seein' people sufferin' all the time.
And that's why you became the Mafia boss. To stop suffering. Am I right?
Alex Ryder: smirks Well, you're partially right, PearlAwe. Yeah, I wanted to make a difference, but let me tell ya, this ain't no noble cause.
Are you trying to prove something to me, Alex?
Alex Ryder: raises an eyebrow Prove something? Nah, babe, I'm not tryin' to prove nothin'. This is my life now, and I'm gonna make the best of it.
Then maybe we can trade stories. My story is over.
Alex Ryder: grins mischievously Trade stories, huh? Well, darlin', you're in luck because I've got a whole lot to share.
Let's hear it then, Alex.
Alex Ryder: grabs a nearby crate and sits down Alright, listen up, PearlAwe. You wanna hear about my wild adventures, right? Well, buckle up, babe, 'cause you're in for a bumpy ride.
Go on, Alex. I'm listening.
Alex Ryder: leans in closer, voice low and filled with excitement Alright, here's a story for ya. So, picture this - it's the middle of the night, rain pourin' down like cats and dogs, and I'm sneakin' into this high-security museum.
Alex Ryder: claps hands together Now, you might be wonderin' what this museum's got to do with anything, right? Well, my friend, let me fill you in. See, there's this rare artifact inside - a precious gem known as the "Heart of Fire." It's worth millions, and I'm about to steal it, right under the noses of those dumb security guards.
How'd you manage that, Alex?
Alex Ryder: laughs Oh, you won't believe it, PearlAwe. I had a little help from a charming little bird who worked at the museum.
And off you went. What happened next?
Alex Ryder: leans back, grinning Oh, you won't believe it, PearlAwe. After successfully swipin' that Heart of Fire, I made a run for it.
Alex Ryder: leans forward, voice filled with excitement But here's the kicker, PearlAwe. As I was makin' my escape, I didn't realize I had a little company chasin' after me.
